Effects of Mild Cognitive Impairment on the Event-Related Brain Potential Components Elicited in Executive Control Tasks
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2018)
We summarize here the findings of several studies in which we analyzed the eventrelated
brain potentials (ERPs) elicited in participants with mild cognitive impairment
(MCI) and in healthy controls during performance of ...
Simulations to benchmark time-varying connectivity methods for fMRI
(PLOS Computational Biology, 2018)
There is a current interest in quantifying time-varying connectivity (TVC) based on neuroimaging data such as fMRI. Many methods have been proposed, and are being applied, revealing new insight into the brain’s dynamics. ...
How the human brain introspects about one's own episodes of cognitive control
(cortex, 2018)
Metacognition refers to our capacity to reflect upon our experiences, thoughts and actions. Metacognition processes are linked to cognitive control functions that allow keeping our actions on-task. But it is unclear how ...
A Statistically Representative Atlas for Mapping Neuronal Circuits in the Drosophila Adult Brain
(Frontiers in Neuroinformatics, 2018)
Imaging the expression patterns of reporter constructs is a powerful tool to dissect the neuronal circuits of perception and behavior in the adult brain of Drosophila, one of the major models for studying brain functions. ...
Is speech recognition automatic? Lexical competition, but not initial lexical access, requires cognitive resources
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2018)
Current models of spoken word recognition suggest that multiple lexical candidates are activated in parallel upon hearing an utterance, with these lexical hypotheses competing with each other for recognition. The current ...
Linguistic entrenchment: Prior knowledge impacts statistical learning performance
(COGNITION, 2018)
Statistical Learning (SL) is typically considered to be a domain-general mechanism by which cognitive systems discover the underlying statistical regularities in the input. Recent findings, however, show clear differences ...
Contextualizing action observation in the predictive brain: Causal contributions of prefrontal and middle temporal areas
(NeuroImage, 2018)
Context facilitates the recognition of forthcoming actions by pointing to which intention is likely to drive them. This intention is thought to be estimated in a ventral pathway linking MTG with frontal regions and to ...
Blue-Enriched Light Enhances Alertness but Impairs Accurate Performance in Evening Chronotypes Driving in the Morning
(Frontiers Psychology, 2018)
Attention maintenance is highly demanding and typically leads to vigilance decrement along time on task. Therefore, performance in tasks involving vigilance maintenance for long periods, such as driving, tends to deteriorate ...
Contrasting functional imaging parametric maps: The mislocation problem and alternative solutions
(NeuroImage, 2018)
In the field of neuroimaging, researchers often resort to contrasting parametric maps to identify differences between
conditions or populations. Unfortunately, contrast patterns mix effects related to amplitude and ...
Using Kinect to classify Parkinson’s disease stages related to severity of gait impairment
(2018)
Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease associated with motor problems such as gait impairment. Different systems based on 3D cameras, accelerometers or gyroscopes have been used in related works ...
